This chapter describes models of ethnoracial identity development and how various stages can impact the treatment engagement process. The impact of racism in the development of anxiety disorders is discussed with examples. It also describes how therapists can support the formation of a healthy, positive ethnoracial identity in clients to foster engagement in therapy.
